These 2 playing Red foxes were most certainly born on the property although I left a couple of passages under the fence open for them to come and go as they wish. I took these pics in september but I saw them later in front of my house and they even came less then 2 meters from me. They are now much darker, magnificent in their in winter hair, but I cannot take pictures since they appear too early or too late for a decent daylight.

Love these photos and I really think foxes are so pretty. We are off to the UK on Monday but I hope that you manage to relax over the holidays and have some time to enjoy it. Here is wishing that 2016 is a much better year and we wish you all you wish for yourself. Take care, will be thinking of you Diane

It must be wonderful to see these beautiful creatures playing, Noushka. I love that you share their beautiful photos with us. I haven't seen any foxes around our place in quite a while. There are plenty around Terry's sister's place in Breckenridge. There are two French sisters who live nearby. They have a French restaurant in the town of Breck. Noreen's other neighbors on the street are in a a tizzy because the sisters just got 3 more dogs for a total of 7, and they feeding the foxes. One fox ran in front of our car when we went to Noreen's for Thanksgiving. It was dashing away from the sisters' house with an egg in its mouth! I'm not sure about the wisdom of feeding wild foxes, but it certainly makes for interesting conversation in the neighborhood. Have a good day, my friend! Sending you a BIG hug!

Fantastic pictures. There are very few foxes around here because so many of the local estates are managed for pheasant or grouse shooting. Maybe not such a bad thing as we don't have to worry too much about our chickens!

Dearest Noushka,How precious those two rascals look and I love your photos.Yes, they certainly do have their 'own' set of hours and that is not aimed at the best photographing light.But still it is precious for being able to share them with us.Sending you hugs,Mariette

Hello Noushka, this is so much fun to have these two foxes on your property. The photos are stunning.Hope you get to see them also with better light conditions and take lots more photos.Take care,Regards,Roos

We had a fox visiting us on a nightly basis in the summer, seen on our hedgehog cam. It was largely vegetarian, feeding on the sunflower hearts left out for the birds. Now it's winter, we only see it occasionally.

Hi Noushka,Great to see the foxes playing. You are lucky to get such a chance to observe them. As you know I see foxes pretty regularly, some of them used to meet people. It offers chances to make pictures of their normal, natural behaviour.Greetings, Kees
